Investigators say it was the adult grandchildren of an elderly South Pasadena woman who found her stabbed to death inside her home Tuesday night.
The victim’s grandchildren were conducting a welfare check around 8:45 p.m. in the 800 block of Brent Avenue when they found their grandmother on the floor bleeding and called 911.
“They went in the location where they found a female, white adult suffering from stab wounds to her upper torso. The Fire Department responded and she was pronounced deceased at the scene,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau Lt. Michael Modica said.
